五角大楼将公开直播胡德堡枪手哈桑的枪决：定于12月3日，主教团与议员齐声反对
五角大楼官员10月8日证实，美军将公开直播对胡德堡枪击案凶手尼达尔·哈桑（Nidal Hasan）的行刑队枪决，细节将随后公布。国防部长赫格塞斯（Pete Hegseth）在采访中表示，处决决定于12月3日下午1时在德克萨斯州胡德堡基地进行，由士兵持步枪执行；代理陆军部长特尔（Adam Telle）已定下这一日期。若按计划执行，这将是美军自1945年以来首次以行刑队方式处决，也是逾65年来首次军方死刑执行。特朗普总统此前已批准枪决方式（GSM 10月6日已报道批准消息，本条为直播决定与日期等后续进展）。
哈桑曾是陆军精神科医生，2009年11月5日在胡德堡基地开枪，造成13人死亡、32人受伤，2013年被军事法庭判处死刑。路透社10月9日报道，特朗普当天在白宫活动上提及哈桑将被枪决，但没有评论直播计划，白宫把相关问题转给了五角大楼。
直播计划引发跨党派与宗教界反对。共和党参议员蒂利斯（Thom Tillis）在社交媒体发文强烈批评这一想法。美国天主教主教团主席、俄克拉荷马城总主教科克利（Paul S. Coakley）10月9日发表声明谴责直播决定，敦促政府重新考虑；梵蒂冈国务卿帕罗林枢机（Pietro Parolin）同日也在罗马对把处决变成公开景观表示反对。

Pentagon to Livestream Fort Hood Gunman Hasan's Firing-Squad Execution on Dec. 3, Drawing Bishops' and Lawmakers' Condemnation
A Pentagon official confirmed on Oct. 8 that the U.S. military will livestream the firing-squad execution of Fort Hood gunman Nidal Hasan, with details to follow. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said in an interview that the execution is set for Dec. 3 at 1 p.m. at Fort Hood, Texas, carried out by soldiers with rifles; Acting Army Secretary Adam Telle set the date. If carried out as planned, it would be the first U.S. military firing-squad execution since 1945 and the first military execution in more than 65 years. President Trump had previously approved the firing-squad method — GSM reported the approval on Oct. 6; this story covers the livestream decision and the date, which GSM has not yet reported.
Hasan, a former Army psychiatrist, killed 13 people and wounded 32 at Fort Hood on Nov. 5, 2009, and was sentenced to death by a military jury in 2013. Reuters reported on Oct. 9 that Trump, speaking at a White House event, mentioned Hasan's execution but did not comment on the livestream plan, and that the White House directed questions to the Pentagon.
The livestream plan drew bipartisan and religious criticism. Republican Senator Thom Tillis sharply criticized the idea on social media. Archbishop Paul S. Coakley of Oklahoma City, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, condemned the livestream decision in an Oct. 9 statement and urged officials to reconsider; Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin also spoke against turning an execution into a public spectacle in Rome the same day.
